Default Re: A pirates life for me...

Yikes, it appears that only the GFC III had "ship", the rest were weaponplatform only, as they should have been.

I thought I copied from GFC I to II to III. Wierd!

In other news, I've finished the missiles, and have put in the grav mines.
5K, 4K, 3K damage, and require grav sensors I, II, III to detect.
I have described the mines as blachholes, and to keep the total power output upon detonation lower than "Vaporize the entire star system", the mines use an external grav field to contain the radiation of a much smaller hole, pumping it back in to maintain stability until you want it to blow up.

RE: images.
I'm no artist, so I'm thinking of using the Vaccuum Gas Giant colony pic.

I think I'll go ahead and tweak all of the cloaking/sensor techs now... Gravity cloak levels will be based entirely on the mass of the ship, for one... Your grav sensor III will see Stealthy Baseships & BattleCruisers, but the Escorts can pass by undetected.

Small size defeats gravity sensors...
Stealth armor defeats passive sensors...
Scattering armor defeats active sensors...
Master computers defeat psychic sensors...

What could defend against temporal sensors, though?
If nothing, then what would be a good alternaive description for temporal sensors to allow hiding from them?
